I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star Jamie Lynn Spears' chances of being crowned Queen of the Jungle are still super slim, despite her impressive Bushtucker Trial last night.

The younger sister of pop star, Britney Spears, 32, bagged an impressive 10 stars in the Climb of Cruelty challenge in which she was hoist high in the air, covered in creepy crawlies. Many viewers congratulated the Zoey 101 actress for her bravery, but according to odds released today, Jamie Lynn has no chance of winning I'm A Celebrity.

Newcomer Frankie Dettori is now the frontrunner to be crowned King of the Jungle, having joined the campmates last night. The former jockey, 52, has odds of 7/1 compared to Jamie Lynn's 66/1 as the race to the finish line gathers pace.

Speaking about the Italian's chances of winning the show, Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “It seems punters’ love affair with Frankie Dettori looks set to continue as he moves from the racecourse to the jungle. Ahead of his highly anticipated debut tonight, we have been seeing a stream of support for him all morning.”

After she impressed in the trial on Wednesday, Jamie Lynn's odds were cut from 100/1, but it seems Britney's fans are still not happy with the self-confessed "redneck", who they previously accused of lying about her involvement in her sister's controversial conservatorship in which Britney accused the siblings' father, Jamie, of 'controlling' her for 13 years.

Fans of the Overprotected star are unconvinced by Jamie Lynn 's tears as they believe she is only crying in a bid to garner sympathy from the public. Viewers have seen the mum of two break down several times over missing her children, leaving many to think that she will quit the show.

In an episode of the reality TV show this week, the actress' emotional breakdown prompted her campmates to rally around her and even run her a bath. But taking to X, one fan said: "Why does #JamieLynnSpears go on these #celebrity programmes when all she does is cry about missing her kids. Not for the money surely! #ImACeleb #celebritySAS."

Another viewer hinted she is constantly trying to dominate camera time by crying and joked: "They've turned the cameras off." While a third slammed the star for 'bad-mouthing' Britney when Jamie Lynn brought up the time the Lucky star lost out on an award to arch nemesis, Christina Aguilera.

However, the viewers aren't the only ones to give the Mississippi-born star a grilling. When Jamie Lynn pretended she hadn't won any stars as she returned to camp on Wednesday, shedding fake tears, Ant and Dec congratulated the singer for being the "best actress". Taking to X with a certificate for her 'performance', the Geordie duo added a laughing emoji.

Some viewers thought the dig was the Byker Grove stars way of showing they were on Britney's side. While others congratulated Jamie Lynn for smashing the trial.

*I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV on Thursday at 9pm
